The artist definitely has great talent, but I didn't really enjoy the images. One thing that threw me back is that the artist aged up and sexualized many characters when there really wasn't any reason to do that. Also, why are so many of them all cut up? :-( They have massive scars, and many even have scars that spell out something, so they're obviously cutting the words into their skin on purpose. It doesn't seem like such a good idea to promote self-harm, especially when it doesn't resonate at all with what the original characters would do...

Oh my gosh has anyone noticed that the ones with scars are the ones who fall into the "hero" category? Therefore, they would most definitely have battle scars. It's supposed to be bad ass. The words in white are more than likely supposed to be white tattoos. At least, that's the impression I got having seen white tattoos in person before.

They also have several other scars on their arms, throats etc. So it definitely looks like its carved into their bodies. I know people who used to be 'carvers' if you will. It's not something to glamourize.

Those 'scars that spell out something' are actually scarifications, a type of tattoo. You should read things before commenting that and acusse the artist of something like promoting self-harm. As atattoo artist i have offended reading that. And they are not sexualized, they wear clothes that you think are sexualized, but all women can wear what they want

I read the artists posts. Contextually, I don't think the 19 year old artist really knows what scarification is. It sounded to me like she just meant that they get scars. Multiple times on her instagram page she talks about how she feels that these characters are "warriors" and therefore would have scars.

And even if it represents scarification, people who do not know what it is, could think it is self-harm. And think it is trending and that could trigger them to start doing it themselves. So still not a healthy thing to draw this.

These all look like teenagers. At first glance, very few will see this as scarification, especially with how its presented (considering all the other scars). If you are an artist, your art gets critiqued.

Ktci: if it represents scarification, people who do not read that part and who do not know what it is, could think it is self-harm. And think it is trending and that could trigger them to start doing it themselves. So still not a healthy thing to draw this. Especially on innocent cartoon characters.
